Embodiment Construction

[0060] figure 1 A feedback device 10 for inhalation is shown. The feedback device 10 includes an inhaler interface 11, a processor 14, a feedback device 16 and a feature distributor 13. The inhaler interface 11 is configured to temporarily attach the feedback device to the inhalation device (indicated by dashed line 15). The feedback device 16 is configured to provide feedback to the user (different examples are indicated by the reference numeral "20" and a mark) to assist in inhalation using the inhalation device. The feature dispenser 13 is configured to recognize the type of predetermined feature of the attached inhalation device. The identification of the type of the predetermined feature is indicated by a dashed arrow 17. The feedback device is configured to provide feedback according to the type of the identified feature to instruct the user to adjust the inhalation strategy suitable for the attached inhalation device.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a feedback for inhalation. In order to further improve feedback and instructions to further support the correct use of an inhaler, a feedback apparatus (10) for inhalation is provided that comprises an inhaler interface (11), a processor (14), a feedback device (16), and a feature assigner (13). The inhaler interface is configured to temporarily attach the feedback apparatus to an inhalation apparatus. The feedback device is configured to provide a feedback to the user to aid in inhalation with the inhalation apparatus. The feature assigner is configured to identify a type of a predetermined feature of the attached inhalation apparatus, and the feedback device is configured to provide the feedback in dependency of the identified type of feature to instruct the user to adjust inhalation maneuver adapted to the attached inhalation apparatus. In an example, the predetermined feature is a device type of the inhalation apparatus, and the feature assigner is configured as an inhalation device type assigner (70) to identify the type of a currently used inhalation device. In another example, the predetermined feature is an accessory type of the inhalation apparatus, and the feature assigner is configured as an accessory type assigner (72) to identify the type of a currently used accessory.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a feedback device for inhalation, to an inhaler system, and to a method for providing instructional feedback during inhalation. Background technique [0002] For the inhaled amount of medicine, for example, an inhalation device is provided. The results of respiratory medications depend in particular on the correct inhalation technique. For example, WO 2011 / 083377 Al describes a respiratory drug delivery device with feedback and compliance devices in order to provide patients with feedback information about the use of the respiratory drug delivery device. Provide LEDs and displays to give patients visual information such as feedback and instructions. However, it has been shown that there may still be errors in the use of the device. Summary of the invention [0003] Therefore, it may be necessary to further improve the provision of feedback and instructions to further support the correct use of the inhaler. [0004] The obje...
